## What Changed

### Before (face_recognition):
- 128-dimensional face encodings (dlib ResNet)
- HOG/CNN face detection
- Euclidean distance for matching
- Tuple location format: `(top, right, bottom, left)`
- No face confidence scores
- No detector/model metadata

### After (DeepFace):
- **512-dimensional face encodings** (ArcFace model)
- **RetinaFace detection** (state-of-the-art)
- **Cosine similarity** for matching
- **Dict location format:** `{'x': x, 'y': y, 'w': w, 'h': h}`
- **Face confidence scores** from detector
- **Detector/model metadata** stored and displayed
- **Multiple detector options:** RetinaFace, MTCNN, OpenCV, SSD
- **Multiple model options:** ArcFace, Facenet, Facenet512, VGG-Face

---

---

## How to Use

### Processing Faces:
1. Open the dashboard: `python3 run_dashboard.py`
2. Click "🔍 Process" tab
3. Select **Detector** (e.g., RetinaFace)
4. Select **Model** (e.g., ArcFace)
5. Click "🚀 Start Processing"

### Identifying Faces:
1. Click "👤 Identify" tab
2. See face info with **detection confidence** and **quality scores**
3. Example: `Face 1 of 25 - photo.jpg | Detection: 95.0% | Quality: 85% | retinaface/ArcFace`
4. Identify faces as usual

### Viewing Metadata:
- **Identify panel:** Shows detection confidence, quality, detector/model
- **Database:** All metadata stored in faces table
- **Quality filtering:** Higher quality faces appear first

---

## Configuration Options

### Available Detectors:
- **retinaface** - Best accuracy, medium speed (recommended)
- **mtcnn** - Good accuracy, fast
- **opencv** - Fair accuracy, fastest
- **ssd** - Good accuracy, fast

### Available Models:
- **ArcFace** - Best accuracy, medium speed (recommended)
- **Facenet512** - Good accuracy, medium speed
- **Facenet** - Good accuracy, fast
- **VGG-Face** - Fair accuracy, fast

### Configuration File:
`src/core/config.py`:
```python
DEEPFACE_DETECTOR_BACKEND = "retinaface"
DEEPFACE_MODEL_NAME = "ArcFace"
DEFAULT_FACE_TOLERANCE = 0.4  # Lower for DeepFace
```

---

## Performance Characteristics

### Speed:
- **Detection:** ~2-3x slower than face_recognition (worth it for accuracy!)
- **Matching:** Similar speed (cosine similarity is fast)
- **First Run:** Slow (downloads models ~100MB)
- **Subsequent Runs:** Normal speed (models cached)

### Resource Usage:
- **Memory:** ~500MB for TensorFlow/DeepFace
- **Disk:** ~1GB for models
- **CPU:** Moderate usage during processing
- **GPU:** Not yet utilized (future optimization)

### Encoding Storage:
- **Old:** 1,024 bytes per face (128 floats × 8 bytes)
- **New:** 4,096 bytes per face (512 floats × 8 bytes)
- **Impact:** 4x larger database, but significantly better accuracy

---

## Backward Compatibility

### ✅ Fully Compatible:
- Old location format (tuple) still works
- Database schema has default values for new columns
- Old queries continue to work (just don't get new metadata)
- API signatures unchanged (same method names)
- GUI panels handle both old and new data

### ⚠️ Not Compatible:
- Old 128-dim encodings cannot be compared with new 512-dim
- Database must be migrated (fresh start recommended)
- All faces need to be re-processed with DeepFace

### Migration Path:
```bash
# Backup current database (optional)
cp data/photos.db data/photos.db.backup

# Run migration script
python3 scripts/migrate_to_deepface.py

# Re-add photos and process with DeepFace
# (use dashboard GUI)
```
